This 20 minute one-track EP is available only on Digital Download (unfortunately for the collectors out there); with Adkins thematically covering the notion of ‘drift’ and a lone figure wandering round a city, locked in their own world. ‘Residual Forms’ is a beautiful release; with captivating drones and harmonies that slide and weave gently together …

“Transmissions†comes in a card wallet, simply and elegantly adorned with a close-up of machinery workings; this is very apt, since thats precisely the content of the disc, too. The cd has four tracks, ranging in duration from near three minutes, to a mammoth near-forty. All the pieces use the sounds of machines: “Part 1†…

siebzehn bis ∞ is tied with the previous work eins bis sechzehn, recorded within the ruins of a hotel complex at the Croatian coast in 2011 and released in 2012.  These ruins situated in the Župa DubrovaÄka area are silent witnesses of once mono-functionally used areas resembling each other by their interchangeability and absence …

ALEXANDER RISHAUG ist mir bei Possible Landscape (Asphodel, 2004) als Freilichtmaler von Panoramen und imaginären Landschaften begegnet, den ebenso die minimalistischen Möglichkeiten draußen wie das spezifische Tönen von Innenräumen faszinieren. in MA.ORG.PA.GIT (Crónica 091~2015, LP) steht das ORG der A-Seite für die Orgel in der Norwegischen Seemannskirche in Rotterdam und das GIT der B-Seite für …

Allo stesso modo, anche “Ma.Org Pa.Git†di Alexander Rishaug si relaziona al concetto di ambient music in modo anomalo e trasversale, tarsformando il suono dell’organo a canne di una chiesa di Rotterdam in un cupo drone sul quale si sovrappongono le registrazioni delle meccaniche dello strumento e i riverberi prodotti dall’ampiezza dello spazio.
